John 7:53

And every man went unto his own house. The officers not bringing Jesus with them, and the sanhedrim being posed with Nicodemus, broke up without doing any business, and every member of it went home: this we may suppose was about the time of the evening sacrifice: for

"the great sanhedrim sat from the time of the morning daily sacrifice, to the time of the evening daily sacrifice F2 Maimon. Hilchot Sanhedrin, c. 3. sect. 1. :'

and it is said F3 Piske Tosephot Sanhedrin, art. 35. , that

"after the evening daily sacrifice, the sanhedrim went, לבי־תאם , "to their own houses";'

as they now did, and not to their booths, the feast of tabernacles being now over.
